Well, I only got to the third page but screw it, I'll throw in what I think about Christianity, and religion as a whole.
I'll be perfectly honest right now, this is probably gonna upset some people. Having different views does that, and I'll try to make it as nice as I possibly can, but this is gonna upset some people. Why post it then? Because its what I believe, and I have the right to believe it and to talk about it. So, sorry in advance.
I am an Anti-theist. I identify as this instead of Atheism because of one key difference. I don't believe in the concept of divinity. I concede that its possible the universe was created by some singular being, but this doesn't mean that that being is intrinsically better then other sapient life. It's opinions aren't automatically the right ones, it doesn't get to rule morality forever (except by force, but anyone could theoretically do that). God can be wrong.
I personally look at the concept of a God or creator similar to the concept of a mother. It's the closest thing in human experience, so if nothing else it is a decent starting point.
When looked through this lens, I personally find the depiction of the Christian God lacking.
From what I know of the bible the Christian God effectively created humanity, the entire universe for the sole purpose of stroking his own ego. I don't see that as a reason to have a child, so I cannot see it as adequate reason to give birth to a universe.
Beyond this, when humanity began doing something he disliked, instead of guiding them as a true parent should, his response was to flood the world. To keep with the metaphor, drowning the child in the bathtub.
We don't accept mothers who do those things, so why should we venerate the cosmological equivalent?
Beyond the parent-child metaphor, there are plenty of other points that paint the Christian God as...not a nice person. Eternally torturing those who he disagrees with is the ultimate end-all example of this, so I see no real point in exploring the problems with his more personal dealings with humanity.
And what of the things he considers sins? The things he considers to insult him to the very core? We of course have things like homosexuality which many a human being will disagree with him about. Then there is...well DISAGREEING with him. Oh, and lets not forget the whole EXISTING one. Because what your ancestors did totally affects your own worthiness.
Of course the last one was retconned with Jesus. Which I would like to point out that its not "love" to torture someone who didn't commit the crime to death instead of eternally torturing the ones who...ALSO didn't commit the crime... Its psychopathy.
All in all, I can't understand why people would WANT these things to be true. I find nothing hopeful in Christianity. It presents a universe where the sole authority is....pretty much a superpowered Hitler. Lets be honest, Godwins Law gets thrown out when the one on the receiving end admits to attempted genocide in their autobiography.
It seems to me the only reason people go along with all this is because of the heaven thing. Which you get into by following everything God wants exactly. Lets be honest again, if you think its ok to follow Hitler so long as you get to be one of the Aryans...fuck you.
Yeah, that got a lot less respectful as it went on. Sorry about that. I do want to note that this is against the "strict interpretation of the bible" crowd. There's also the "happy fun jesus" crowd that I personally can't take very seriously because it just feels like fanfiction at that point.
I mean, if God turns out to be real and is actually a nice person, I'll shake his hand, but I don't think that to be much of a possibility given the only evidence of his existence is the 8000th revision of a book presumably written by him, but probably not. And said book paints him as an asshole.
Oh, and I'll shake hypothetical NICE!God's hand, and maybe have some nice conversation and such, but I'm not gonna base my entire existence around congratulating him on creation even if he is nice.
But if he's the kind of person/omnipotent being I could respect, he wouldn't expect that anyway. Would be hella awkward.
